Projects
Medicine never stops changing and improving, meaning education and training must keep pace. Our wide-ranging projects tackle any subject which may impact on education now and in the future.
Complete the 2019 national training surveys
The national training surveys for trainees and trainers across the UK are now open and will be available to complete until 1 May. By taking part, you will help us make sure that doctors in training receive high quality training in a safe and effective clinical environment and trainers are well supported in their role.
Our current projects
Differential attainment
Differential attainment is what we call the gap between attainment levels of different groups of doctors. It's an indicator that training and medical education may not be fair. Find out more about the work we are doing about this.
Medical Licensing Assessment
Find out about our plans to establish a Medical Licensing Assessment to ensure doctors joining the medical register with a licence to practise meet a common threshold for safe practice.
Credentialing
We are considering a new process called credentialing to recognise doctors’ capabilities in particular practice areas. The main purpose of this new framework will be to protect patients and make sure that future healthcare developments are safe and effective.
Health and disability review
The journey through medical education and training systems is not always an easy one. And it can be even harder if you have a disability.
Promoting flexibility in postgraduate training
In 2016 we began a review of flexibility in postgraduate medical training, working with stakeholders to find solutions to current barriers to flexibility.
